Abstract: According to an attractive account of belief, our beliefs have centered (i.e. de se) content. According to an attractive account of communication, we utter sentences to express our beliefs and share them with our audience. However, the two accounts are in conflict: if our utterances really do express our centered beliefs, the belief expressed by the speaker cannot be the same belief as the one the hearer acquires. I am going to sketch an alternative account of communication that accepts this consequence.
